2024 Map of Dement Creek

About this map

Dement Cem sits near the northern bend of the South Fork Coquille River, anchoring a landscape defined by the convergence of the Coast Range's complex drainage systems. The terrain transitions from the river valley southward toward the heights of Eckley Mountain, where the boundaries of Coos and Curry counties meet. Transportation patterns follow these deep drainages, with Dement Creek Rd and Old Eckley Rd tracking the watercourses. Historical industry is visible in the northeast through a preserved Railroad Grade, tracing a path near Whobrey Mtn. This network of creeks, including the North Fork Sixes River and East Fork Floras Creek, illustrates a region where geography dictated early access routes and settlement pockets.
